Business Management Major and Minor

The opportunity of a lifetime鈥攖hat鈥檚 what a major in Business Management can mean for you.

You鈥檒l learn to read balance sheets and income statements. You鈥檒l calculate the net present value of investments, and use enterprise software like SAP to diagnose a company鈥檚 operations. You鈥檒l conduct a marketing campaign, learn how to motivate team members, and analyze corporate strategy.

If you choose to study abroad, you鈥檒l have a world of choices, with business-school partners from China to England to Argentina to help you complete the global-business component. When you come back, we鈥檒l be eager to help you research and write a senior capstone to help show employers what you鈥檝e learned, and what you can contribute.
